Jacksonport’s fourth studio album, “Ting Ting” is new territory for Chicago-born singer/songwriter John Fatum. It’s as if the golden hour warmth of “Dusted Beauty” (2023, Ay Caramba Records Etc.) gave way to the deep blue twilight of dusk, swaying between the magic of night and the ubiquitous melancholy of adulthood. Co-producer and engineer Adrian Olsen (Michael Nau, Twain, Buck Meek, Fruit Bats) encouraged Fatum to sing from behind the drumset, his first musical home, and piloted a soundscape that enhances the elegance of each player’s long-developed musicality. Co-producer and multi-instrumentalist Bridget Kearney (Lake Street Dive, Ed Sheeran, Aaron Dessner) lended her melodic sensibility and keen ear for arrangement to match the strength and nuance of Fatum’s songs. “Ting Ting” presents a new chapter in the Jacksonport sound, one of maturity, meaning in the quiet and small, and the frank acknowledgment that we all have times where we don’t want to get out of bed. At home in Los Angeles Fatum is known as studio and live drummer for acts such as Bella White, Liana Flores, Watkins Family Hour, Sarah Jarosz, The Brother Brothers, Maya Hawke, Buck Meek (Big Thief), Aoife O’Donovan, Jack Symes, Wilsen, Bridget Kearney, Jefferson Hamer, Olive Klug, Lucy Clearwater, Alexa Wildish, and many more.
